Unable to import module pollingLambdaHandler: No module named 'requests'

Question

I'm getting the above error when importing requests in my lambda function (Python).

I am following this guide, which instructed to "pip install requests". https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/iam-auth-connecting-python.html

Upon installing requests, I see: Requirement already satisfied: requests in /Users/.../env/lib/python3.8/site-packages (2.32.3) Requirement already satisfied: charset-normalizer<4,>=2 in /Users/.../env/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from requests) (3.3.2) Requirement already satisfied: idna<4,>=2.5 in /Users/.../env/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from requests) (3.7) Requirement already satisfied: urllib3<3,>=1.21.1 in /Users/.../env/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from requests) (2.2.2) Requirement already satisfied: certifi>=2017.4.17 in /Users/.../env/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from requests) (2024.6.2)

I am aware of the layers-solution, however prefer to avoid it and follow the steps in the guide linked above.

Hello.

You cannot use "request" in Lambda just by running "pip install request" on your local PC.  
You need to create a Lambda layer or upload a "request" module along with your Lambda function code.
